Short post.

This is tested in the Bakpia mod kernel (2.6.32.9), module compiled from the rmcc github kernel 2.6.32.9 branch located here.

Compiled in a CentOS 5.3 environment with android ndk and sdk installed.

Anyways, copy the module to /system/lib/modules do an insmod tun.ko to run the module and tunneling is all set. You can now use Openvpn downloaded from the Market.

Since I’ve been able to get a new webhost (and lots of space and unlimited bandwidth), I’ve decided to share with you some rpms I’ve compiled and used on the machines I’ve been running.  All of these files are open source licensed, so feel free to download these files.

What’s in the repository?  ffmpeg, mysql-cluster, apache gotten from the RH repository (it’s the latest apache version), among other things.

Some special sauce have been added, like ffmpeg able to use speex codecs (which the rpmforge repositories cannot use), and php-ffmpeg, and some special php extensions which are not installed by default by plain vanilla php.

To access this repository, just get this file below:

And place it in your yum.repos.d folder.

Have fun!

You might have heard of ssh2 pecl bindings for php. Unfortunately, the “stable” version fails to compile for php 5.2.x.

I am providing source rpms for CentOS/RedHat which fixes this problem.  Please take note I’m using a free file hosting service to host this source rpm.  If you know of anything better than this, please tell me.

CentOS/RedHat php-pecl-ssh source rpms

There’s a useful link below that should help you get started with php ssh2:

Make ssh connections with php

Update: You can now get this php extension at my repository
